R2
By Doug Clayton, EVGrok Staff Writer
The Rivian R2, an all-electric midsize SUV, is set to revolutionize the electric vehicle (EV) market with its blend of affordability, performance, and rugged capability. Positioned below the R1S, the R2 offers a more compact and accessible option for those looking to experience Rivian’s innovation in electric adventure vehicles. With a starting price of $45,000, the R2 aims to reach a broader audience, making electric off-road and adventure-ready SUVs more affordable and practical for daily use. This pricing strategy positions the R2 as a competitor to popular models like the Tesla Model Y and Ford Mustang Mach-E, while maintaining Rivian’s signature rugged design and adventure-ready features.
The Rivian R2 features a sleek and aerodynamic design, with a length of 185.6 inches, a width of 75 inches, and a height of 66.9 inches. Despite its smaller size compared to Rivian’s R1S, the R2 maintains a spacious and functional interior, perfect for family outings and outdoor excursions. The R2 is equipped with a powerful 90.6 kWh battery, offering an estimated range of over 300 miles on a single charge. It comes in three powertrain configurations, including a dual-motor all-wheel-drive option and a tri-motor all-wheel-drive variant that accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in under three seconds, delivering impressive performance alongside its off-road prowess.
Built to support a wide range of driving needs, the Rivian R2 offers advanced features like DC fast charging, enabling the vehicle to charge from 10% to 80% in less than 30 minutes. Rivian is set to begin production of the R2 in 2026 at their facility in Normal, Illinois, with plans for an additional factory in Georgia. Designed to tackle both urban environments and off-road adventures, the R2 combines Rivian’s renowned electric drivetrain with the versatility and durability needed for exploring the great outdoors, all while offering an accessible price point for a growing market of EV enthusiasts and adventure seekers.
